Re: How many of you.... |
Leave it to me to take things down a notch.......
Like so many great discoveries throughout history, my real introduction to the Dead came about because I was chasing skirt.
Tower Theatre run in June of 76 - school was out and a buddy of mine and I were trying to figure out how to get to Upper Darby which was only about a half hour from Wilmington. He overheard someone at church talking about going and asked if we could tag along. He said yes (as long as we brought beer or gas money) and off we went. I must admit the first night was underwhelming, but his sister had come along and she was freakin' hot. I had no intention of going the next three nights until she asked me if I would go with her. I do believe it was the hormones that helped usher me onto the bus.
We ended up dating for 2 1/2 years and then she dumped me over the phone, on Valentine's Day.
I still love the Dead, but I hate Valentine's Day.........
